The present invention relates to improvements in plasterers hawks andthe same-pertains more particularly to a in wk capableof being collapsedfor confining the same within 5 the limited compass of a tool box.

The prime object of the invention is to" provide a hawk for use byplasterers capable of being easily divided into several sections,whereby the same may be easily disposed Withinatool box. v i Stillanother object of the invention is to provide a hawk. of this characterwherein the sections thereof may be securely fastened together duringthe'use of the same.

. A further object resides in the means whereby the parts may be readilyassembled or disassembled as the same maybe.

V fter reading the following specification and claims, other importantobjects and advantages of this invention will become apparent.

In thedrawmgs:

- Figure 1 represents a side elevationof'the improved hawk. b

Figure 2 is a top plan View of the tool, Figure 3 is a transversesectional view of the device. Referring to the drawings more in. detail,wherein like numerals designate like parts, the material supportingplategenerally referred to by numeral 1 includes a pair of plates 2. andrespectively. Each of the plates 2 and 3 is provided with a dependingapertured lug 4, through whicha protuberance 5 extending from thecomplementary section is adapted to project for maintaining the sectionin substantially cosplanar relation. The abutting edgeportions of thesections 2 and 3 respectively are provided with a ing registeringopenings therein,

A handle 7 is flared at its upper end portion.

550 In assembling this improved hawk, the T pair of spaced dependingmembers 6-6 havhead is engaged'into the openings of the dependingmembers 6-6, in the manner clearly shown in Figure 30f the drawings. Thestem portion 10 is then disposed through the longitudinal bore ofthehandle Tand the project'- ing threaded end portion thereof is equippedwith a nut 12, whereby the threading thereof against the adjacent endofthe handle will 7 result in the tight'binding of'the plate sectionagainst theopposite end of the handle.

For the purpose of preventing the plate section from rotating thehandle, teats 13' on the flared end of the handle engage within recesseson the bottom side of the plate section in the manner shown inFigure 3.

It is to be understood that this improved implement. may. bemanufactured of any material, and that certain changes in the size andshape thereof may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit ofthe invention or I the scope of theappended claims;

Having thus described the invention, what is clalmed as new 1s 1. Inaplasterers hawk comprising a material supporting plate constructed of apair ofabuttingseotions, a handle formed with a recess at its upperend,said sections provided adjacent their abutting edges with dependingapertured lugs; said lugs being adapted to engage within the recess ofthe handle, and

means engageable within the apertures of the lugs for detachablysecuring the plates together and to thehandle.

2. Apl'asterers hawk comprising a sectional plate for supportingplaster, said sections being disposed in abutting relation,dependingears adjacent the abutting edges of the sections, a handle andadjustable means :onn'ecting the ears to-the'handle.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
